Paddling for Everyone!Welcome to Bow Waters Canoe Club. We invite you to join us for fun and adventure on the water. From novice to advanced paddlers, we have trips for everyone. There are day trips, weekend trips, camps, lessons, and multi-day adventures. Our members paddle canoes, kayaks, SUPs, and pack rafts. Our club offers opportunities to meet like-minded folk through activities and education. Families, couples, and singles are welcome. No boat? No problem. Through Rocky Mountain Paddling Centre, canoe rentals (and gear) are available for members on BWCC trips. Some BWCC members may also have a spot in their boat.

PADDLINGAt Bow Waters, we are dedicated to fun and safe paddling in and around Southern Alberta. You are sure to find trips and people that match your interests and skill level. Safety is paramount in our club, and paddling the rivers of Alberta is best done in groups - for many reasons. There are many opportunities to improve your skills and widen your experiences. Just getting out on our beautiful water ways builds experience. Our members are also fine and willing mentors! We have a wide selection of lessons and courses available. | ADVENTUREWe are all on a great adventure together. Our paddlers possess a deep appreciation for the environment we paddle through. Whether it be the peaceful flow of calm water, the joy and challenge of active water, or the full-on adrenalin of rushing whitewater, we have a trip for you. As a BWCC member, you will have opportunities to take your skills and safety knowledge to the next level. We paddle waterways in and around Calgary and southern Alberta. | COMMUNITYOur Club is much more than just paddling. We are a community of like-minded people revelling in each other's company, embracing new experiences, lending a helping hand, mentoring on the water, around the campfire, or at our many events (presentations and volunteering activities). Our members are primarily paddlers in the Calgary area; but, our membership includes folks from the Bow Valley, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, and a variety of rural settings. Singles and families - of all age groups - enjoy the benefits of our club. |
